Mark Jacobs developed some of the first 3D documentary trials for the BBC and currently works for the BBC Academy producing 3D courses for the industry and innovation labs that bridge the editorial and technical divide. He has a background in both traditional and pervasive media and is a member of the AHRC steering group and commissioning panel Beyond Text.

In his presentation, taken from the Edinburgh TV Festival, Mark describes how and why 3D has come back into fashion, where it is going and why it might also be relevant to mobile.

This Lunchtime Talk is part of Open Studio Friday, which takes place at the Studio every week

Do you want to find out what is going on at the Pervasive Media Studio? Are you interested in meeting our residents, talking about a specific project or curious about pervasive media? Why not pack a sandwich and join us for one of our Lunchtime Talks and Open Studio Friday.

Lunchtime Talks are informal presentations by Studio residents and associates. They normally take place at 1pm on Friday, are free and open to everybody who’s interested in what we do.

After the Talk, we also invite you to stay with us for the afternoon to continue the conversation or work on your own projects. We provide chairs, tables, wireless and a great space. You bring what you need to work with (laptop/mobile). Our open afternoons close at 5pm, usually with a trip to the bar.

Let us know if you haven’t been to the Studio before and we'll be happy to show you around! Send an email to Shirin@pmstudio.co.uk and we will meet you at 12.30pm for a quick tour.
